If the haypress creek board is a supercomputer because
it has 360 Forth nodes what does that say about the
bigger stuff? The biggest so far is 132,000 nodes,
98 million mips, and 19 megabytes of internal RAM
per chip.  They still cost much less to make than
the retail price of a single high-end Pentium chip.
How about a tower with a bunch of those in it
(and some serious liquid cooling) as a colorforth
PC?

Best Wishes

ah !

now this is getting somewhere

how come neither the newer nor the older nor the
'classsic' forthers have whispered any word about
this ?

and did i read correctly ?
NINETEEN MB of ram PER chip ?
total = (19MB x 132,000) = 2.5 TeraBytes

this would mean 20Terabits

and "a tower with a BUNCH of these" ??
does this mean a tower with several 132,000 node chips/boards ??

that is not revolutionary .. this is 22nd Century stuff !!

more info is earnestly requested please

peekay

(and do tell us if all this will work
or does work on okad2/ColorForth combo)
